Winter in Kasai Rinkai Park

The narcissus and the large Ferris wheel in Kasai Rinkai Park were beautiful.

The fountain in Hibiya Park was starting to freeze

I could really go for some yakisoba right about now. I always love going around at festivals and looking for the yakisoba vendors as it's the best festival food imo. I actually haven't had it cooked on teppan in a restaurant in a few years though. I think the last time I did it was at an okonomiyaki restaurant with a bunch of friends, was a lot of fun. This "En" restaurant in Yoyogi looks pretty good though, I'll have to keep an eye out for it or write it down for whenever I'm in the area next. I'm probably going to make some yakisoba this weekend if not sooner though, cuz it sounds pretty good right now?

Wow this is awesome. I haven't gotten to see an iguana up close in so many years. They're really amazing creatures, apparently they're an invasive species in Japan. You learn something new every day I guess. I think I went to Sunshine City like last year or something but I haven't been to the Sunshine Aquarium before unfortunately. If they have iguanas then I'd love to go see them lol. I went to an aquarium a few years ago when I visited Kyoto but it's been a while since then. I really love checking out the jellyfish too, there's so many different types and the aquariums I went to in the US never seemed to have any which seemed kind of strange. Still hoping one day I'll get to see one of the dolphin shows that I always see. I seem to always barely miss the line and the wait time until the next one is always really long. Japan has some really cool aquariums though, so I'm looking forward to when I can visit them!

Man that's a lot of meat! I love yakiniku though so I wouldn't be surprised if I could eat all of it ? I haven't went to a yakiniku restaurant in a while since we just cook it at home in our nabe, but I'd love to go to a yakiniku restaurant again soon. The atmosphere is always really nice and it's nice to get out and have a beer with some friends over some delicious meat. I used to always go to this all-you-can-eat style yakiniku restaurant with friends some years back but with everyone living in different places I haven't been able to do so in a while. I'm pretty sure I've never went to Ushimatsu, but dang does it look good. I'm a huge fan of the toasted bread and meat too, looks tasty! If I'm ever in Minato and looking to splurge I'll have to give this place a visit!
